I can actually hear it, and yes, it hurts, and trust me, 25 is a very distant memory. Dipity, sitting nearby when I played it, could also hear it and got up with this WTF look on her face. Of course, she's a cat. And she's 2.

In case anyone was wondering, no, I haven't heard back from the LA County MTA since my last missive. Current working theory is now that I have been placed on their "ignore her and maybe she'll go away" list. Aka, the "fruit loops" file.

Yes, it's that time of year again, where I start to go a little nuts making holiday gifts. Work has me really busy, and I've started a little later than I intended, so come December, I might get sleep-deprived again. I'm also having a harder time coming up with ideas for some people this year, although I'll figure something out.

I've also had a "request." Normally I only take requests if it's reasonable and you're a really, really, really, "take me to the vet when I have to put my kitty to sleep" good friend. Otherwise, it usually turns into "No, I won't make it for you but I'll give you lessons" + annoying smiley face. (Said smiley face is even more annoying in person.) However, there is a loophole case: if you give me an idea that makes me curious enough to experiment and also is not onerous enough to take the rest of my natural life, I might get suckered into it.

Of course, that doesn't mean the idiot locus has left Florida. This guy got pulled over on a traffic stop. The officer noticed the unmistakable smell of marijuana coming from the car, so he searched the man, and found two baggies of assorted drugs between his buttocks.

When the bag fell to the ground, Roberts immediately said, according to the report, “The white stuff is not mine, but the weed is.”

Southern Baptists are not allowed to practice yoga, while "Other Christian leaders have said practicing yoga is incompatible with the teachings of Jesus." You know, I've read the Bible a couple times and I never saw anything along the lines of "Thou shalt not tie thyself into a knot."

That guy? The one at the computer? That's totally me. I have said that exact same thing before. Java is a bloat-hog and if you're only going to run your app on one platform ever, WRITE IT IN SOMETHING ELSE.
